The Book Club book
This is the first in a new series for detective duo Steve and Amy Wheeler. Steve is happily retired and likes his routines: the pub quiz, sitting outside, his cat. His past was full of adventure, but now he likes a quiet life. His daughter-in-law Amy, however, loves adrenaline. She's a private security officer, protecting a world-famous author Rosie D’Antonio on a remote island. It should be a simple job, until there's a murder, a lot of money and someone trying to kill Amy. 
This thriller is filled with action, amusing lines and warmth. And you need to work out "whodunnit" - who committed the crime!
'The thing that shines through in Osman’s writing is that he really likes people and revels in all their foibles and eccentricities. All of which makes for a delightful read' THE OBSERVER
Geoff says:
"Richard Osman is the famous author of the best-selling Thursday Murder Club series. This new book has broken all records as the best-selling adult hardback fiction book in the UK. It is full of action, yet witty, with interesting characters, and full of British English idioms and colloquialisms - great for improving your knowledge of how English is actually spoken!"

The Book Club book
Author Athena Liu is a literary phenomenon while her friend June Hayward is a literally nobody, and is jealous. So when Athena dies in a freak accident, June sees nothing too wrong in stealing her unpublished work and publishing it herself under the name Juniper Song. When questions start to be asked, what will June do to protect her new-found success...? 

Yellowface raises interesting contemporary questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation, while being gripping and highly readable.

‘Ingenious, astute, hugely entertaining’ David Nicholls
‘Hard to put down. Harder to forget’ Stephen King
Geoff says:
"It's funny that this book has been a publishing sensation - given that it satirizes the book publishing industry! It was Amazon book of the year, and the Fiction Book of the Year 2024 at the British Book Awards."


Yellowface - Thursdays from 16th January
